TRUST AND REST.

Fret not, poor soul, while doubt and fear Disturb thy breast; The pitying angels, who can see How vain thy wild regret must be, Say, Trust and rest.
Plan not, nor scheme; but calmly wait; His choice is best; While blind and erring is thy sight, His wisdom sees and judges right; So trust and rest.
Strive not, nor struggle; thy poor might Can never wrest The meanest thing to serve thy will; All power is His alone; be still, And trust and rest.
Desire not; self-love is strong Within thy breast; And yet He loves thee better still; So let him do his loving will, And trust and rest.
What dost thou fear? His wisdom reigns Supreme confessed; His power is infinite; his love Thy deepest, fondest dreams above; So trust and rest.
